OpenStudy (anonymous):

Have you drawn a picture? It's easier to see if you draw it.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1348716157738:dw| What kind of congruency do you have by looking at the picture?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you sorry it took me so long to reply

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's fine. Do you see the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah it makes it a lot easier when its drawn out like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry never mind scratch that lol sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What type of congruency do you have? Some angle/side congruences don't imply the triangles are congruent. That's how you'll know for sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh okay yeah thats why i deleted it cause i relized i did it wrong at the last minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so what congruency do you have? There's only a few: SSS - SAS - AAS - SSA - ASA Pretty sure that's about it. Look at the picture and tell me which of those it is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait, missed one. There's also AAA. Out of those six, which is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think it AAS idk i havnt had to do these in awhile

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Close. How many sides are congruent and how many angles are congruent?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SSA lol i think is that it sorry if its not I'm not the greatest at this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. That's correct. Now, does SSA imply the triangles are congruent? Only some of those six do.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i would say yes to the SSA

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that yes they are congruent sorry lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It isn't true. Only SSS, SAS, AAS, and ASA imply the triangles are congruent. You should memorize this. There's only six properties and it's very helpful in doing these problems to know this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you for helping me your one of the only ones pretty much who has really been helping me i had a couple other people helping me too but mostly i keep getting ignored by people so thank you very much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You're welcome

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have another question I've been needing help on if you don't mind

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to bed in a minute, but I'll help if I can.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay yeah i just have one more I've been needing help on I'm going to bed soon so i understand thank you
